[Ducati] New math

[Steve Abramson]

Quoting Ducati CEO Michael Lock in Cycle World article on the 1098, "you can buy a genuine Ducati superbike over a three year loan period for a price premium equal to the cost of one Starbucks coffee per day." Now I don't drink Starbucks coffee, and I didn't major in math, but he got me awfully excited. I had a vision on just marching right upstairs to my wife and announcing my intention to but a 1098 as soon as possible. The I grabbed a pen and paper real quick, and, uhhhhh, it just doesn't seem to work out. I guess I don't know that much about bike loans either. How much is Starbucks coffee, anyway? Someone please help. If getting a 1098 is as easy as starting to drink more coffee, I'm ready for the caffeine.
